Public Holidays

Q: An employee has asked a question about public holidays. If an employee is called out to work in a region that is having a public holiday on that day, are they also entitled to an alternate holiday, even though the employee is located in a region that is not on a public holiday that day?


A: No, they only get the province holiday that relates to where the workplace is located.  An employee can always do better but that would be an agreed term nothing to do with the Holidays Act.
